Hello! I’m Widodo,

the tree kangaroo who broke with convention and decided to go snorkeling. It wasn’t as simple as that sounds, and I have to thank my good sea turtle friend Matius for putting the idea in my head in the first instance, but in any case, however it happened, I ended up with a story so dazzlingly edge-of-your branch exciting that I felt it only proper to share it with the world.

And so I have – with a little help from Mr Author of course, who using computers and micro-chip technology and internets (it all sounds very complicated), has built this website to share my tale with you. And a lot more besides. I keep him fairly busy with my many ideas, and you will see quite a few of them here. (Some are Mr Author’s ideas. ‘You must Tweet, Widodo!’ said he, one morning. ‘Birds-of-paradise tweet,’ said I. ‘Not tree kangaroos!’ But once he explained it more fully, I became convinced.)

So enjoy! Play and have fun and learn a thing or two about life in the cloud forest. And do send me heaps of comments. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love Widodo

Watch Mr Author morph into me!

Just click on his face and wait for the dramatic improvement.

How much do you know about tree kangaroos? Think we’re just a koala with a long tail? Well, perhaps you should take this fun test and learn a thing or two!
